What's a ball board?

You see that board up there with the patched balls in it? That's a ball board.

You drop your powder charge and sit the board over the muzzle, Give the prepatched ball a rap with the short starter to start it and push it the rest of the way down with the loading stick.

Real handy! :thumbsup:

You may call it bullet board, too. It is the ML's speedloader :haha:

That is a kind offer in deed. Mighty nice ball board. If Brett doesn't want it, I sure could use it.

 

[bwhoffman]

Oh Brett's not wanting, merely admiring and complimenting the hammer! I make ball blocks as well, give em, trade em ect.I make a lot of stuff just because, and to see if I can do it!.

...the ball block isnt being spoken for from me!
....but think about the great generousity of this, and if others followed suit!

I take my hat off to "SkunkSkinner"
:hatsoff:

Brett

What diameter do you make the holes for a patched 50? Thanks

 

[skunkskinner]

drill a 1/2 " hole for .50 cal.

 

[skunkskinner]

Frank/Pa,

nice boards skunkskinner :thumbsup: but,my question is... what size hole fer a patched 595 rb? think i got down to /64's afore i gave up.. :shocked2: RC i'm sorta figuin this is gonna take a file to fix.....now if i can jes get that knife back to alookin like it did[url] before...thinkin[/url] it was a round file...if this is the right knife...or is it this one.....one was flat....oh gees...RC

 

[skunkskinner]

It"s in the mail Frank :grin:

 

[skunkskinner]

RC,that would depend on what size rifle bore you are putting the patched 595 in.

 

[thboz]

What wood did you use? It looks hard.

 

[skunkskinner]

I used walnut.I am looking for Hard woods with knots in them,the grain of a knot looks good in my way of thinking.
